A Witch Is A Witch. Don't Dismiss One Because She Looks Different From You.

After they got back to Fandom, Cassidy had gone immediately to her room. Out of habit, she put a Tiger-Eye shield up around the room and then changed into pajamas. For the longest time, she sat on the floor beneath the window, looking through some of her books from home. With everything that had happened this week, her concerns about holding the leash of a Warlord Prince seemed so long ago.

She would probably do research on jhinkas at some point in time, but that wouldn't be today.

After awhile, she put a warming spell on the bed and crawled under the covers. She had seen and felt a lot of things over the past few days and she wasn't exactly sure how to process it all. Besides the fact that she had met a very cranky Warlord Prince who happened to be her cousin, Aaron, and the Queen who wanted to be his Lady, Kalush, other things were not as harmless.

She was worried about Karla. She was worried about Jaenelle. She was worried about Raven. She was worried about Morton.

Mother Night and may the Darkness be merciful. She was worried about everyone that had been involved in what had happened. It was easier to just say that than to try to think about everyone separately. She didn't know all of Karla's friends that had been there, but she was determined that she would try to get to know them. Poppi would say that when there was a crisis, you should get to know everyone that was there.

Agio could definitely be considered a crisis.

Of course, she would do that another day. Right now, she wasn't thinking of leaving her room or talking to anyone tonight.

Too bad she had forgotten about the fact that a Queen was supposed to let members of her Court know her whereabouts and there was a cranky Black Widow looking for her.

[[OOC: For Shira.]]

Cassidy had stayed in the guest room she had been shown to for a lot longer than she normally would have. She had slept some, but that didn't get rid of the tiredness or the emotions that she was still feeling after the last couple of days. Finally, needing to get out and be in the open, she quietly headed downstairs and out the doors. She was hoping that she would be able to settle enough before they returned to Fandom.

( Cassidy didn't go too far from the safety of the house. )

It was probably a good thing that Cassidy hadn't been given a new roommate after Hiccup left because currently there were books and notebooks everywhere. Hiccup's bed had been pushed against the far wall and tilted up on its end and there were her two trunks against the bed and books and other things were spilling out of them haphazardly. In the middle of this chaos sat Cassidy.

She was in the middle of the floor, focusing completely on the book that was opened in her lap. She was positive that somewhere in her Craft books and the histories and the books of Protocol -- or even in her notebooks from notes while with tutors -- there had to be an explanation or guidance for how to deal with what had happened on Saturday night. She was convinced that there had to be. After all, she was almost sure that a Queen had to be higher in rank than the males of her court, and she was certainly not higher than Ranon of Shalador.

In one corner, was a pile of quills, pens and colored pencils. They were in a pile because she wasn't going to throw books when she got frustrated about not finding the guidance she was looking for.

Yes, she could have gone immediately to Karla, but she wanted to at least try to find her own answers about Ranon and the Protocol about what she had done to start forming her Court. She hadn't planned on forning a Court so soon, but she had wanted to make sure that there was no suspicion from Shira or Ranon about what kind of Queen she was and that she wasn't going to do anything to hurt them.

It was probably good that she had thought to put a yellow shield around the room -- but any one with a darker Jewel than hers would probably be able to come right in. Her psychic scent and the emotions that she was loosing in the room as she focused hard on the questions she suddenly had to find answers to.

Possibly she should have just gone to Karla first because she was really frustrated and the more she read and studied, the more confused and frustrated she was beginning to get.

Mother Night, she needed answers.


[OOC: For one. That they talked is okay to know. What they talked about is NFB right now.]]

So, as many of you know, I work at NASA.

The last two months have been dealing with stuff for Fiscal Year End -- which is why I have not been around with any of my girls too much. For those of you that know me from the previous two YEs, this one has been much more intense. (Dealing with last minute "OMG THIS IS AN EMERGENCY" is so much fun.)

Purpose of this post? The fiscal year ends officially tomorrow at midnight. I'm sure that you can probably imagine what today and tomorrow will be like.

So, if I have dropped tags (Hi Henry!) or if I am in a post and suddenly disappar between one tag and the next in the evenings? It means that I have suddenly fallen asleep or am otherwise preoccupied with something that takes a quarter of a brain cell. :S

If I'm doing something with a character and I am silent, please poke me however you like -- NOT DIRTY!

Just know that I haven't suddenly disappeared or been eaten by work -- but that I may be hiding beneath my desk and rocking back and forth. *grins*

This mainly affects Cassidy, Chloe and Annja... though my three alumni have suffered for it, too.

Thanks!

After her class, Cassidy had retreated returned to her room in the dorms. She was tired, but it was a different kind of tired than she had ever experienced before.

The past weekend and the days leading up to that had shocked her more than she had wanted anyone to realize. She had never felt pain around her on the level that she had been over the weekend and after she started using her Jewel to try to help the land and then the machine... well, during and after all of that, her shields hadn't shut out enough of the psychic scents.

That was part of the problem, she knew. She had used too much power and it was going to take some time to replenish all of it. She just had to look down at the still healing marks on her hands to be reminded of that. It didn't matter how much power or blood she used, she had still felt the land dying around her piece by piece and nothing had seemed to help.

It was the first time that wearing the Tiger Eye had made her feel like she was inferior in some way. It was the first time since her birthright ceremony and working with her Jewel that it seemed like she wasn't making a difference. The land continued to die and the device beneath the island continued to be broken no matter what they did.

Oh, she was beyond glad that the situation had finally been fixed and everyone taken care of and the land back to... well, she supposed normal wasn't the correct word, but it was back to being itself.

She was relieved that everything and everyone was back like they were supposed to be. It was just going to take a little bit for this witchling to deal with all of the emotional and mental turmoil that she was new to experiencing.

She wondered what Hiccup would think about it if she purchased some plants for their room. Plants were great healers.



[[OOC: For the roomie and can be open, sure.]]

After the excitement of yesterday, Cassidy was in the living room area of her cabin writing things down in her journal. After all, even if she couldn't write home about certain things, she could at least keep a written account of her activities and adventures here, right?

There had been a lot of writing as of late as she had been introduced to all sorts of new things. She liked the difference of the cabins, but she had to confess that she missed Hiccup a great deal. He was a good roommate and he was fun to talk to.

After deciding that she would go and look for him and Toothless to say hello a little later, she bent her head back over her journal.

... and then Karla and I decided that it would be a very friendly thing of me to do in teaching the people (mostly the males) that I live in this cabin with how to play Cradle. We both agreed that it would be a lot of fun for everybody...



[[OOC: Open for cabin mates and visitors!]]

This is Cassidy. Lady Cassidy when formality is required. She's Cassie to her friends, Kitten to her father, and Daughter to her mother. She is probably called all kinds of things by her older brother.

A good bit of this is being reposted from my application, so I apologize to the admins for them seeing it again. *grins* This also going to quite possibly get a bit long as I am always bad about how much I should include in these posts.

I did warn that it could get long...

Did I forget anything?

I'll be putting up an info post for my other girls in a little bit.
